Age: 9|  Weight: 9-11| J: G Baker| T: J R Jenkins| OR:  66
6/1
Course winner who is on a losing run lasting nearly two years. Placed last time out but has a tendency to miss the break and hard to put any faith in.

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-9| J: M Harley| T: C R Dore| OR:  64
25/1
Five-time AW winner who has only beaten two-rivals home in last five starts. Very hard to fancy on that basis.

Age: 4|  Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: H Spiller| OR:  65
7/2
Still a maiden after seven starts but produced a smart effort behind General Hazard last time out and a repeat of that would be enough to take a race like this.

11/4
Maiden unplaced in five starts to date but ran a little better than finishing position suggested last time out and not without a chance in a race as poor as this.

4/1
Unplaced on all six starts to date and needs to start pulling out more if he's to become a threat.

25/1
On a 24 run losing streak and been in the worst form of his life in three starts this winter. Has placed in apprentice race at this course but looks like he needs more relief from the handicapper.

Skylark Ladyb56
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-1| J: N Mackay| T: M Wigham| OR:  60
7/1
Only one win in handicap company on the Flat so has a little to prove but in a weak affair such as this, is not without a chance and has at least shown he's in good heart over hurdles recently with a placed effort.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: P S McEntee| OR:  55
7/1
Still a maiden after nine starts to date but best runs have come over this C&D so hard to rule out.

Age: 5|  Weight: 8-10| J: Edward Greatrex(3)| T: M J Attwater| OR:  47
33/1
Two-time C&D winner who has proved he struggles to get competitive off a mark this high.

Forecasts

Macksville (11/4), Combe Hay (7/2), Chandon Elysees (4/1), Karam Albaari (6/1), Skylark Lady (7/1), Medicean Queen (7/1), Ruzeiz (25/1), Yul Finegold (25/1), Fleetwood Poppy (33/1)

Verdict

COMBE HAY performed wel last time out behind a progressive sort in General Hazard and he may be able to get his head in front in a weak affair such as this. Medicean Queen has run well at this course before and shouldn't be ruled out and Macksville may be able to grab a place for the first time in his career after a promising run last time out. 1. Combe Hay 2. Medicean Queen 3. Macksville
